I guess the problem I am thinking of is that there is only one file but two compilers. This implies that there ought to be compiler specific versions installed. Perhaps though this is just a Debian/Fedora/… problem. They assume one and only one pc file per library.

There is also the issue that Meson compiled D libraries are not dong the same as GtkD, hence the question. The canonical Meson pc file does not have the -L prefix on library flags.

Until the compilers become binary compatible, the same issue exists for
the library its self. Debian and Fedora build there libraries with ldc,
when installing a copy of GtkD net to the one from the distro it will
need a compiler suffix on the pc file and the library fot things to work
properly.

pc files generated by meson do indeed not include the extra -L
irregardless of the compiler used. While this isn't a problem for build
tools it can be troublesome when building manually, i don't know what
would be the best way to handle this.
